Chapter 323 Radical Thought
The hot and suffocating battlefield suddenly became cool the moment the first black snowflake fell. The first snowflakes that fell melted due to the high temperature emitted by Kha-Beleth, instantly turning into rising water vapor. However, they did not disappear but entered the clouds again to circulate.
Heavy black snow fell toward the ground. Under the continuous effort, the temperature on the battlefield became lower and lower. At the edge of the battlefield, snow was already piling up on the ground.
If Kha-Beleth had to use a word to describe how he currently felt, it was anxiety!
In the beginning, he did not care much about these snowflakes and only regarded them as Demon Osiris’s dying struggle. He waved his flame scythe and charged at Roy, but Roy changed his tactics and focused on dodging instead of counterattacking. All his magic power was continuously inputting into the clouds above to create a cold wave. As the temperature on the battlefield became lower and lower, Kha-Beleth finally realized that something was wrong. Under this low temperature, he felt a sense of suppression all over his entire body. There was an obstacle in the output of his magic power, and the consumption of magic power became even greater. The black snowflakes fell on him one after another, causing the destruction flames burning around him to decrease again and again. What made him the most uncomfortable was that the snow melted by his flames gradually seeped into the ground, making the ground muddy. He now had immense tonnage, and he sank more than half a meter deep with one step. This feeling of entering a swamp drove him crazy.
Knowing that this battlefield environment was very disadvantageous for him, Kha-Beleth naturally wanted to break out of this situation. He did not care about continuing to chase Roy. He suddenly stood upright and stomped his two front hooves on the ground!
The next moment, a dazzling mass of flames exploded, forming a flame nova. With Kha-Beleth as the center, it spread in all directions. The flame nova affected a radius of more than a hundred kilometers, and all the snowflakes affected by the flames instantly vaporized.
With this wave of high temperature, Kha-Beleth roasted the ground of the battlefield, and then he rushed over with his scythe and slashed at Roy’s head.
Sizzle. Roy turned into lightning and instantly retreated three kilometers away. He floated in the air and looked at Kha-Beleth with a sinister smile.
Kha-Beleth was about to say something angrily when he realized that snow was falling from the sky, continuously, incessantly, endlessly...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo the crazy Kha-Beleth exploded another flame nova.
Seeing Kha-Beleth’s response, Roy’s smile became even more sinister. Although the snow brought by the Dark Frost wave kept falling, it actually consumed very little of Roy’s magic power and lasted for a long time. But Kha-Beleth’s response consumed too much magic power. When the flame novas exploded, not only was the consumption massive, but the effect was also not that good.
Most importantly, after Roy’s heavy snow cooled the entire battlefield, the power of Kha-Beleth’s flames naturally weakened.
The temperature of Kha-Beleth’s destruction flames was as high as 8,000°C, and Roy’s frost temperature was only -250°C. Although the difference in the value of the two appeared to be very large, it was actually Roy who had the advantage because heat always transferred from high temperature to low temperature.
Every time Kha-Beleth used magic power to create flames, a large portion of the energy was consumed during the heat transfer.
Of course, the battle between the two was actually a battle of consumption. While Kha-Beleth was being consumed, Roy was also being consumed. But Roy was not afraid of him at all because he had the ten times magic power recovery speed increase of the Cold Winter Armor. Roy could fight it out slowly for an entire day!
The battle thus entered a deadlock...
The fierce flames fought against the heavy snow filling the sky. The battlefield of Roy and Kha-Beleth looked magnificent, but no one dared to approach the edge of their battlefield. The soldiers of the alliance army and the demon camp that had escaped far away earlier only dared to fight at a place more than two hundred kilometers away from Ur-Hekal. Even so, people would be affected by the power coming from afar from time to time.
The bodies of some of the alliance soldiers and demons stained with black snow began festering, and their entire bodies were in severe pain. They eventually fell to the ground and died amid endless screams. Some alliance soldiers and demons were brushed by Kha-Beleth’s flames and instantly turned into charred corpses.
The souls exposed by these dead people were eventually dragged toward Ur-Hekal... Be it the alliance army or the demons, they all knew that the battle between Demon Sovereign Kha-Beleth and Demon Osiris was terrifying. But unfortunately, no one dared to witness this battle. They could only focus on the enemies in front of them and keep fighting.
Julia and Benia’s current opponents were the demon heroes under Kha-Beleth. Both sides were evenly matched, and it would be difficult to determine the winner in a short time. But Rafaro was slaughtering in the crowd.
Whether it was demons or the alliance soldiers, as long as they were living creatures, they had life force in them. Rafaro was wreaking havoc on the battlefield excitedly and constantly absorbing the rich life force to replace the death power in his body. Now, large patches of hard black dragon scales had appeared on his body, and he was about to complete the life conversion ritual.
There were still a few gold dragons under Gem’s command. These gold dragons naturally could tell what Rafaro wanted to do, so their eyes were full of worry. Although black dragons were also their compatriots, black dragons had extremely violent tempers since ancient times. The black dragon in front of them, who had reincarnated from the state of death, would surely increase his strength once he obtained a flesh body. At that time, if he attacked the alliance army, he would definitely cause immense casualties to the alliance army.
Therefore, the gold dragons were quietly contacting Gem to ask if she wanted to take action and suppress this black dragon.
But Gem looked at the massive demon army and suppressed this thought. Now that the two armies were entangling with each other, the alliance troops could not retreat even if they wanted to. They could only try their best to eliminate the vitality of the demon army, so they had to rely on Demon Osiris’s army, which naturally included this raging black dragon... “Haven’t you found Isabel?” Gem whispered to Zehir next to her.
Zehir had not taken many actions, but he was actually using Eagle Eye to investigate the situation on the battlefield. He replied softly, “I’ve found her, but it might be extremely difficult to save her!”
“Where?” Gem asked.
“There’s an undead army about forty kilometers behind the battlefield!” Zehir said. “That’s Demon Osiris’s army. In my impression, this army hasn’t appeared on the battlefield. We only saw it after we retreated. If he has Isabel in his hands, she can only be there!”
“Indeed. The Isabel that Demon Osiris brought was a fake, but she’s definitely in his hands. Given the personality of demons, Isabel is a good card for him, so of course, he will think of ways to make use of her!” Gem nodded. “So I think she should be there because only in that place can Demon Osiris play this card when he needs it... But what’s the problem you mentioned?”
“There’s a lich master guarding there!” Zehir shrugged. “And that enormous three-headed hellhound is also there. It’s still holding Kha-Beleth’s demon sword in its mouths...”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon hearing this, Gem frowned. From the sound of it, the undead army guarding Isabel was not weak. Even if she and Zehir led a surprise attack there, they might not be able to take it down quickly. If they alarmed Demon Osiris’s subordinates, they would probably not mind beating the alliance army as well...
“Actually, I think we can wait and see first!” Zehir thought for a while. “Since Isabel is a card that Demon Osiris is using to deal with Kha-Beleth, he will use it sooner or later. If Demon Osiris can really use Isabel and the child in her stomach to deal severe damage to Kha-Beleth, it won’t be a bad thing. At least we can watch both sides suffer losses...”
“I hope so...” Gem sighed. Things had long gone beyond their control, and they could only take things one step at a time now. Although they really wanted to stop the birth of the Dark Messiah, the problem was that they could not even protect themselves now...
In front of Ur-Hekal, the battle between Roy and Kha-Beleth was still in a deadlock.
Kha-Beleth’s flame scythe smashed onto the ground, creating a series of explosive magma bursts. The magma erupted from the ground, and the flames shot straight at Roy. But when they arrived in front of him, Roy directly froze them with Ice Age, turning the magma into fiery-red ice spikes that soared into the sky!
Taking advantage of the time that Kha-Beleth’s line of sight was blocked, Roy covered himself in thick black mist, hid in the flurries of black snow, quietly moved to under Kha-Beleth’s abdomen, and stabbed at it.
The ice on his sword collided with the flames, creating a sizzling, explosive sound. It was the sound of the instantaneous boiling of water vapor. Kha-Beleth screamed in pain and immediately spread his wings and rushed forward, knocking Roy out from under his abdomen.
“Disgusting fellow! Do you only know these disgusting fighting methods?!” Kha-Beleth roared as he turned around, waved his flame scythe, and shot countless flying fire crows at Roy. Roy spread his wings and flew up. While dodging the fire crows, he snorted coldly. “Then how do you want me to fight you? Fight head-on? I’m not some idiot with only muscles in my head!”
Kha-Beleth gnashed his teeth as he listened. He had never thought that a high-rank demon would give him so much difficulty. Although he was a demon lord and the other party could not deal any fatal damage to him, he could not deal with this frost demon in a short time and could only be dragged into a battle of attrition.
Why did Kha-Beleth maintain his human form usually? It was because the consumption of his true body was too great. The longer this battle of attrition dragged on, the more disadvantageous it was for him.
Or should I directly use my ultimate move to destroy Eeofol? This thought suddenly flashed in Kha-Beleth’s mind. No matter how mobile Osiris is and how he can dodge, he can’t fly thousands of kilometers away in such a short time...
Don’t doubt this. As a demigod-level demon lord, he had the ability to destroy most of the land at once. It just depended on whether he wanted to do so.
However, he never had such thoughts in normal times. After all, such destruction did not give him any sense of accomplishment. But now, facing Roy, this difficult opponent, he was a little exasperated and had this radical thought...
